Outside of her professional life, Dr. Knott enjoys exploring new languages and has dabbled in Japanese, American Sign Language, and Spanish. She also loves spending time with her two children and unwinding with nerdy board games on weekends. These personal passions reflect her appreciation for connection, learning, and work-life balance.

Dr. Knott is amazing. Super friendly, kind, intelligent, knowledgeable, and helpful. I feel like she actually cares and that is a first for any psychiatrist I’ve experienced in LA. I’m grateful to have found her and I am sharing this so other people can know that they are in great hands with her. Could not recommend her any more highly.
